Chapter 767: Chapter 620, What’s the Ex-Husband’s Name (One more update today.)_2 Chapter 767: Chapter 620, What’s the Ex-Husband’s Name (One more update today.)_2 During the conversation, Mini descended from upstairs.

In her hand, she held three slim gift boxes.

“Master,” Mini called out obediently, placing the gift boxes on the table.

Wu Heng waved his hand and said, “These are for the three of you, our latest manufactured gifts.”

The three of them exchanged pleasantries, but accepted the gifts in their hands all the same.

Upon opening the gift box, a round-shaped object was revealed.

Its surface was smooth and glossy, evidently very finely made.

Wu Heng began to explain, “This is a steel pen, a product improved from the quill, allowing easier carrying and writing, and it will eventually replace quills.”

The three looked at the steel pens in their hands with a hint of confusion in their eyes.

After examining it closely and applying slight pressure, they effortlessly removed the cap, revealing the nib inside.

The patterns on the nib caught their attention, and their gazes grew intense.

Such fine detail!

There were even patterns on it.

“Let me demonstrate for you.”

Seeing that they didn’t understand how to use it, Wu Heng took out a steel pen from his Space Ring.

In front of their watching eyes, he started to demonstrate.

“This is the cap; once it’s removed, you can start writing,” he explained.

Then he unscrewed the back end of the pen, revealing where the ink sac was, “This is the ink sac. You just need to fill it with ink and you can write normally, without needing to prepare like you do with a quill.”

With just a brief demonstration,
The three of them had already understood the use and features of the steel pen.

They exchanged looks, their eyes filled with surprise and disbelief.

It didn’t seem difficult, but to improve from a quill to this steel pen was undoubtedly a very clever design.

Not everyone has a Space Ring to carry quills and ink.

This steel pen nicely resolved all the drawbacks of a quill.

It might look like just an improvement,
But its practicality had skyrocketed.

Without question, such a product would definitely sweep the market and become the best-selling writing tool.

And the craftsmanship was extremely fine, especially the soft ink sac; one wouldn’t even know what material to use to attempt to replicate it.

“Did you design this?”

“Lord Island Master, has the steel pen already hit the market?”

“I think we can talk about the possibility of distributing it.”

The three of them spoke, slightly excited.

Wu Heng smiled, “We haven’t started selling it to the market yet, but it will be exhibited at the upcoming exhibition. Once we have set a price, we can discuss cooperation. And there are also many different styles which look quite nice too.”

The three of them were taken aback, but quickly nodded in agreement.

It looked like this exhibition would indeed feature some revolutionary new items unlike anything before.

As they were chatting, footsteps echoed from the courtyard.

Robey arrived with ‘Lady Shanaela’, dressed in a lavish gown, along with her attendant housekeeper.

Scanning the room and the few people inside, she inclined her head slightly, “Lord Island Master.”

Wu Heng nodded and introduced, “This is the President of the Starflower Commerce Association, ‘Lady Shanaela’, who is also an advisor for the Gold and Silver Island exhibition, tasked with the responsibility of arranging the venue and selecting the items.”

The three came from outside.

Certainly, they had heard of Lady Shanaela’s reputation.

They immediately stood up, “Lady Shanaela.”

“Please, sit down!” Lady Shanaela said indifferently.

The three sat down, and Lady Shanaela, possessing a strong presence, asked, “Are your associations all participating in the exhibition?”

One replied, “Yes, we have already registered at the city hall.”

Lady Shanaela enquired further, “What goods are you presenting?”

“We export exquisitely crafted silverware, which is very popular among the nobility and royals,” one answered.

“We’ve prepared some fabrics and tapestries, all of good quality,” another added.

“We deal with jade jewelry,” said the third.

Lady Shanaela nodded, “The household items section is on the first floor; you can bring your goods tomorrow afternoon. Don’t come too early to give room for the upper floor’s exhibitors to set up.”

“Yes, yes!” The three nodded immediately.

The arrival of Lady Shanaela turned the conversation purely into business matters.

The topic of the exhibition dominated the discussion.

They sat and talked for a while in the room.

Then the three stood up to take their leave.

Wu Heng and Lady Shanaela accompanied them to the door, waving goodbye.

Returning to the room, Lady Shanaela inquired, “There’s nothing major, so what do you need me for?”

“I feel more assured with you here,” Wu Heng said, moving forward to embrace her shoulder.

“You’re just lazy, leaving all the work to us,” Lady Shanaela complained slightly.

No sooner had she spoken,
Mini went to open the door again, and then came back, saying, “Master, two more merchant caravans have arrived.”

Wu Heng glanced at Lady Shanaela.

He kissed her forcefully on the face, then stepped back, “Bring them in!”

…

Dusk.

After dinner, Wu Heng went straight upstairs to his study.

He had intended to go to Zombie World to upgrade Bella today, but many people who had arrived on the island continuously visited the Island Lord’s Mansion.

He didn’t want to refuse guests, so he received them.

And just like that, the day passed by.

The influx of so many people onto the island wasn’t a bad thing.

The arrival of these distinguished businessmen was good publicity for the smaller island and helped expand his own renown.

Later on, turning it into a resort and tourist destination wouldn’t be a bad idea either.

As for the exhibition, tomorrow was the time for all goods to be brought in, and it would open to the public the day after.

Wu Heng returned to his study.

Sitting down at the side, Glenda put down her pen at the desk and said, “Tomorrow is the distribution of the newspaper, coinciding with the exhibition. Should we postpone it a bit?”

It was time for the newspaper circulation again.

Wu Heng shook his head, “No need, just sell it as usual. It will work out well with the merchant caravans arriving on the island, also showcasing the popularity of our newspaper.”

“Hmm, that does make sense, you’ve thought it through more than before,” Glenda said with a smile of approval.

Xiao Xiao put her hands on her hips, “Mm-hmm, uncle has improved a lot.”
